FAQ

Some questions we get, which may help you in this moment

How long does a divorce take in the UK?

Under the current no-fault divorce system, the process takes a minimum of 26 weeks (around six months) from the initial application to the final order. This timeline applies provided there are no complex disputes regarding finances or child arrangements, which can extend the timeframe.

Do I have to go to court to get a divorce?

In most cases, no. If both parties agree to the divorce and can reach an amicable settlement regarding financial separation and child arrangements, the entire process can typically be handled without you ever having to step foot inside a courtroom.

How are financial assets divided during a separation?

The court's primary goal is to achieve a fair division. While the starting point is often a 50/50 split, this is adjusted based on several factors, including the length of the marriage, the needs of any children, and the future earning capacities of both parties. We always aim to negotiate a favorable financial remedy out of court first.

What is a Child Arrangements Order?

A Child Arrangements Order is a legally binding court decision that dictates exactly where a child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent. While we strongly encourage and facilitate mediation to resolve these matters amicably, we provide robust representation to protect your family's best interests if a court order becomes necessary.
